Exactly what he told me 
Hi Ulf,
Thank you very much for the reply! 
Unfortunately this is very sad⌠it means that they even donât think to add more techniques which are very important⌠This library is really nice, and probably the best one produced by Spitfire Audio, but unfortunately still incomplete.
They could release the Divisi as paid upgrade of the library, so it wonât be a problem to make another recording sessionâŚ
Ulf, thank you once again for your time and kindness!
Best wishes,
Thurisaz
This is exactly what I told Angus. Anyway, he knows now that thereâs a market for a NotePerformer ++ product (same functionality but higher quality sound and higher price tag), the first company that builds it will win.

Hi @MarcLarcher,
By the way, I had discussion with Angus before, about issues Iâm getting with Originals - Cimbalom .
Ulf was so kind, again, and gave me his contact⌠I gave Angus all the needed details about the issue, even project files, playback templatesâŚ
Well, I was âexcitedâ in a very negative way by the communication with him. He directly claimed that the problem, most probably, is in VE Pro 7, not in the Spitfire Player for Originals. And told me that I have to speak with them. But before I sent a message to Angus, I did test with the Spitfire Player for BBC SO, and it worked well. I did another test alongside with Daniel, if I remember correctly, with Cimbalom in Cubase, too⌠The problem was exactly in the Player for Originals.
Still this problem persistâŚ
Best wishes,

What was this problem with the cimbalom? Iâm just interested since I recently bought the library and use it with VEPRo in a project Iâm currently working on.
Hi @SampoKasurinen,
If you are using this template Dorico and VE Pro 7:
you could try the the following:
- Write one bar full of regular notes quarters, or eights
- In the next bar add longer half notes, or quarters and attach unmeasured Thrill symbol to them.
- In the third bar add again regular notes (non articulated), just like in the first one.
- Play it back.
You will notice that the Cimbalom canât return to natural playback after the thriller and performs the notes in the third bar as thrilled.
The library sounds really nice, but has two problems⌠It doesnât have KeySwitches, and the problem I mentioned above.
Best wishes,

Wasnât the studio the BBCSO library was registered in demolished? If so it will be challenging to add further extensions expressing the same character. They did add several muted brass samples earlier this year. It would need a convolution reverb of the space like VSL uses for their synchro-nized libraries.
Hi @mavros,
Well, according to the information I was able to find the studio is still active.
It wonât be a problem for the guys at Spitfire Audio to do everything needed to supply us with nice Divisi, more articulations and effects.
Even if they record the new samples in different studio it wonât be a big pain for us. We are all using different libraries recorded in different locations within a single project. Every DAW and Dorico they all provide native convolution reverb, of course there are third-party plug-ins like Altiverb, Spaces, Virtual Sound Stage, VSL MIRâŚ
Best regards,

Except money and interest. BBCSO is meant as an edu and âuniversalâ library which is part of the orchestraâs mandate to further music education, FWIW youâre not going to get more sophisticated controls and samples. Instead you might talk to them about the upcoming Abby Road library, which appears to be a more complete one. But at this point too, the requirements are already decided on and Iâm sure you wonât have any luck, as far as I can tell theyâre well along the way of recording which is what the âmini versionsâ theyâve been dropping are about. Another library that does have what you want is your best shot at this point.
Hello @DanMcL ,
As me and Marc mentioned above:
They could provide it as paid upgrade to the library. We are not talking about such serious improvements for free.
Best regards,
Thurisaz
Well, Angus was quite transparent about the fact that even a paid additional upgrade was NOT on their radar.
Yeah you have to understand product development from a software Co side ⌠basically the revenue from this feature is probably not worth it, or they would have done it already. Beating a dead horse basically, unfortunately.
We probably should have this discussion on the Spitfire forum. I have the impression that the direction they are taking today is not really directed at covering full range orchestral compositions . It seems to be more directed at providing new original, often weird sounds and tools for media composers.
Not easy as the choice of that kind of sample material is more or less infinite. Example who can say to have really tried out all Albion Solstice Cassette Orchestra or Komplete Ultimate instruments and presets in a composition.
